Alright, let's kick things off with the Galawat kebabs. This Lucknow legend was born when a toothless Nawab demanded a kebab that was so soft, it'd practically melt in his mouth. The khansamas rose to the challenge, crafting these melt-in-your-mouth delights from finely minced lamb and a secret blend of over 150 spices. Once a royal indulgence, these flavour bombs are now a must-try for anyone visiting Lucknow. It won't be wrong to say Lucknow aa ke galawat kebab nai khaye to kya khaya?
